Clifford Stoll: 18 minutes with an agile mind
Synth content comes in at 6:30 but do watch this from the beginning.
Great stuff. If you appreciate and respect Robert Moog, DO NOT miss this video.
Thanks goes to Ben for sending this one in.

Video description:
"Clifford Stoll could talk about the atmosphere of Jupiter. Or hunting KGB hackers. Or Klein bottles, computers in classrooms, the future. But he's not going to. Which is fine, because it would be criminal to confine a man with interests as multifarious as Stoll's to give a talk on any one topic. Instead, he simply captivates his audience with a wildly energetic sprinkling of anecdotes, observations, asides -- and even a science experiment. After all, by his own definition, he's a scientist: 'Once I do something, I want to do something else.'"

that man is my hero.
ReplyDeleteHis weirdness is somewhat annoying and forced.
ReplyDeleteIt distracts from his message, which is appealing. I completely agree with him on getting computers out of schools.
The part where he measures the wavelength of the sine wave with the microphone is genius.
